One of the easiest ways to maintain your lawn mower for seasons to come is by using a good quality fuel treatment like STA-BIL®. It's the official gas additive of all Briggs & Stratton® engines.
Fuel begins to degrade in as little as 30 days. Treating your fuel prevents corrosion and the gumming and varnishing of your engine's fuel system.
To protect your engine from corrosion, add 360 Protection every time you fill your gas can with fresh, clean gas. It prevents the harmful effects associated with ethanol blended fuels which account for nearly 90 percent of all fuel sold in the U.S. Ethanol-blended gas is especially prone to deterioration, leading to rust in the fuel tank, corrosion, gum build-up, and even severe engine damage. This is reflected in poor overall engine performance, rough running and hard starts.
Whether you're storing your equipment at the end of the season or letting some time pass between uses, curbing your fuel’s degradation and protecting your engine is crucial. Be sure to add STA-BIL storage to clean, fresh fuel before adding it in your engine's fuel tank.
Add STA-BIL ethanol treatment and fuel stabilizer according to package directions and then run the engine for a few minutes to circulate the solution through the carburetor.
